Transmission Coolant Lines - Replacement
 
I've got a tranny line with a pin hole so it is pissing fluid.
The trannty side is obvious and easy to get at.
The radiator side however seems to be difficult to get at.
Any advice?
Also - is this a MOPAR only part?
I don't have the tow package on the truck and am not sure if that calls for a different part or not.

Those lines aren't high-pressure, you can use a rubber line to replace any metal portion, just be sure it's clamped tight...I always double clamps when I splice tranny coolant lines, just to be on the safe side. You could, in fact, just take a small piece of rubber hose, slice it down the middle, put it over the pinhole, with the clamp directly over it and that'll probably take care of it easily.

This is excellent news! I want to do a quick repair and unload the truck I think.
She's due for a bunch of maintenance and I have convinced the wife it is time for a new ride. Now decisions, decisions.
Challenger RT or Ram pickup?

I don't like either of them, frankly. The new Challenger has a little of the lines of the original, but it's too....modern, I suppose, to suit me. I don't like 20" wheels and tires that look like they're painted on. As for the Truck....I don't like the newer body styles of those much, either. I think they've gotten a little too far away from the '94 body style that everybody found so attractive. I know it's all a matter of personal taste, of course, and maybe I'm just old and look back too fondly on things in the past, but really, I can't think of a better looking muscle car than the '70 Challenger, or a truck than that new '94 Dodge Ram.

Here is a question for you, What are your needs? Truck to do the things you can't do with a car or a car with two doors that looks good.

Well - if I ever get that walleye boat a truck would be nice. Since that is not on the horizon, probably the 2 door hot rod makes more sense.

Thanks again guys - for some reason I thought I thought there was more pressure in those lines.
6" of gas line and 4 clamps later she is all sealed up.
